We need Newt to stay in, in Illinois.

Rick is not on the ballot, in every Congressional District in Illinois!

Rick’s not eligible for about 10 of the delegates in IL IIRC. It’s a fair bet most of those are in more liberal counties he wasn’t going to defeat Mitt in anyway. He doesn’t need Newt in the race there. The VA strategy of Newt/Rick types voting Paul is sufficient there and offers Rick his best chance in the rest of the state.

I live in Illinois and that's a flat out lie.

This may be a valid point. Santorum does have delegate problems in places Gingrich does not.

Somebody from the Gingrich and Santorum campaigns badly, badly needs to sit down together and figure out whether the best way to defeat Romney is for both Gingrich and Santorum to stay in the race or for conservatives to put up a united front against Romney.
